A Review on Self Compacting Concrete

Abstract

Self compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing as it becomes dense due to its own self weight. SCC is a high performance concrete (HPC) which meets special performance and uniformity requirements that cannot be always achieved by using only the conventional materials and normal mixing, placing, and curing practices. SCC has excellent deformability and resistance to segregation of aggregates in its fresh state. High workability and control of slump, toughness, volume stability, service life, Low water binder ratio, Low bleeding and low plastic shrinkage, through a tight and refined pore structure of the cement paste are the improvements in performance requirements. The hardened concrete is dense, homogenous and has the same engineering properties and durability as vibrated concrete.

Effect of Recycled Aggregate Concrete and Steel Fibers on the Strength of Self-Compacting Concrete

“…The demand for concrete increases with time due to the growth of the population, especially to fulfill the increased requirements of new residential and commercial buildings as well as significant infrastructure projects [2]. Some areas of the construction are difficult to fill with concrete, and to solve this problem, another type of concrete, self-compacting concrete (SCC), has been adopted when concrete is thrown from high places [3,4]. On the other hand, the increased production of concrete to fulfill the construction markets has generated a huge amount of concrete waste that might hurt the environment when accumulated in huge quantities.…”

Variability Analysis of Compressive and Flexural Performance of Coconut Fibre Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete

“…As a consequence of this, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), which supplies concrete that is of a higher quality and has a higher degree of durability, gains popularity. SCC is an innovative form of concrete with outstanding performance that flows readily and consolidates under its weight without segregation or bleeding [2]. It stands for one of the most cuttingedge and exceptional concrete technologies researched and applied over the previous ten years.…”
